ARC HLC

ARC Healthy Living Centre provides a range of services for a range of groups eg older people, young, unemployed etc. This is their 3rd application and is a Level 3 project. Previous BCPP projects have focussed on for example, peer education programmes for young people, working with Surestart and addiction services. As a result of the project the pharmacist has integrated well into the community. This project will build upon previous work to increase health awareness, promote interagency understanding and deliver a wide range of interactive sessions with groups such as SureStart and alcohol projects. It will also seek to take this out into other areas and encourage other pharmacists to become involved in this way of working.
